AFTER TSUNAMI
ABOUT MY WORKS
ME & MY WORK
I Sri Amiya Nimai Dhara, have passed B. Fine and M.
Fine arts in Sculpture from Kala Bhavana, Visva
Bharati University,
Santiniketan, West Bengal.
In my
academic life, I have studied nature deeply, such as houses, trees, birds,
animals. Santhal village and Khoyai by my sculpture and paintings according to
conventional Santiniketan style.
I have
acquired the knowledge of working in all the possible mediums of my faculty
with technical, such as plaster, cement, fiberglass, wood carving, terracotta,
metal cast etc.
I have
born in a remote village
of Pranballavpur, P.O.-
Chakadighi, Dist.- Burdwan, West Bengal, India. I have grown up with nature
very intimately. I have spent my childhood in the mud house and have used
terracotta utensils and see the temples of terracotta.
From the
beginning, I had knock to watch the traditional art of remote village. So, I
have travel again and again from village to village. And I saw the “Terracotta”
of Bankura / “Dokra” of Guskara (Burdwan) / “Clay toy” of Krishnanagar /
“Wooden owl, Gouranga, Durga” of Natungram (Burdwan) etc.
I have
participated in this traditional camp and workshops. Mainly I have been
influenced by wooden owl, Gouranga of Natungram (Burdwan). I collected the
colours and forms of traditional that folk sculpture. I represent that
traditional technique in my work with a modern concept and here my subject is
on daily life.
Now a
days, I am doing experiment on clay (terracotta) ceramics and metal. As I am
influenced by traditional art and my surrounding nature, the colours and forms
specially revealed from those.
